CRYSTAL GAZER'S PREDICTION FAILS - TOWN SHE DOOMS IS NOT WIPED
OUT
Emmetsburg, Iowa, July 19-(By Associated Press)- Madame Garcia,
crystal gazer, who is credited with the predictions of President
Harding's election and death, as well as the recent southern
California earthquake, guessed wrong when she set Friday and
Saturday as the date for the destruction of Emmetsburg, Iowa.
The town is still here tonight. A number of families left there
homes over the two day period and numerous
farmers are said to have refused to come here to trade yesterday,
but aside from the loss to business men, and some evidence of
jumpiness on the part of nervous citizens, nothing has happened.
The prediction, said to have originated in Washington, was
published here by a local newspaper last week.
